Default Road racing hill climb

It might be over 10 years old now, but a '97 has still got what it takes to be out front
Just been over to Isle of Man, famous for it's TT motorcycle races, for their road racing hill climb weekend. Drove the Viper over and back, the only bit of damage (other than the gas costs) was to the splitter getting on the ferry from the ramp as the sea was rather choppy. The roads are narrow and bumpy, so not very Viper friendly, or forgiving with walls and banking to one side of the road, and steep mountin drop to the other. But driving the TT course is a blast, with speeds of over 150 mph in places and legal (still no speed limits on some of the public roads). The Viper proved itself very popular just turning up, and as always tons of fun to drive, and collected 6 trophies. The event is very well run, closley governed due to deaths from TT racing. Little vid of the Viper in action, and if any of you know the TT course, see if you reconise the part later here out of Ramsey:
